Hey Everyone!

New guy to the forum, but not new to GM trucks. Last truck was a 2000 Silverado shortbox 2wd that started its life with a 4.3. I built an LS6 with a pretty hefty cam and some other goodies and dropped it in, kept the 5 speed manual too, it was a really fun truck to drive, turned a lot of heads with that ole girl lol!

Due to a bunch of reasons I had to get rid of it a few years ago. Still miss the thing. Now that I'm ready for another truck, and have a family now with a 2 1/2 year old and two dogs I wanted a crew cab. Preferred a 2006 or 2007 Classic Silverado but was open to others. Definitely wanted the 5.3 or 6.0 over a 4.8 for towing my boat. Yesterday I came across a 2007 Silverado Classic crew cab 5.3L, black with just over 200,000km (120,000mi) for a really good price. Exactly what I wanted Needs rocker panels, a hood and some new tires, but other than that the thing is in great shape. Looking forward to doing a few upgrades performance wise. This is my first automatic vehicle so it will be a change for sure. Will definitely miss the left pedal!

Anyway just wanted to introduce myself, I am a licenced automotive tech and now working as a marine and powersports tech for the past 5 years so will be happy to help out on here where I can.
